Losing my religion.

I don't mean to say "anything you have faith in or believe in is a religion".

If that is how all of this is coming off, then I need to rethink how to express my thoughts.

What I am saying is that The Theory (as discussed as being the amalgamation of unprovable ideas leading from Big Bang to my species evolving from whatever) is not a fact.

To present it to our children, specifically, AS FACT, is wrong.

There is no more proof for The Theory than there is for Jehovah-God creating the whole thing in 7 days. My argument is not which one is correct. My argument is that we (as educators and parents and scientists) need to think about what we are presenting and HOW we are presenting it.

Because it is not provable, because it is conjecture, because it is merely an idea that millions of people BELIEVE in and have FAITH in, with NO PROOF.... that makes it a religion. And either shouldn't be taught in school, or given equal time with other creation theories.

I don't know how much clearer I can be or how to rephrase (or redefine, HM) what I'm trying to get across.
